This online exhibit was created in 2008 as a project of the Northeastern University Libraries, Archives and Special Collections Department, following Senator Kennedy’s visit to the University on March 17, 2008. The exhibit provides a brief overview of Senator Kennedy’s long relationship with Northeastern University and advocacy for student financial aid on behalf of all college students. The exhibit highlights his numerous visits to the University since 1985 to speak out against presidential and congressional proposals to cut student financial aid and to encourage students to actively protest any threats to their educational financing.
This version builds upon the design, text, and archival materials presented in the original. Contributors for the original exhibit included:
- Conception, design, project management, writing, and image and document selection: Marisa Hudspeth, Assistant Archivist
- Website construction: Marisa Hudspeth, Assistant Archivist; Cynthia Rufo, Project Archivist and Archives Assistant; and Rebecca Parmer, Archives and Digitization Assistant
- Editing: Joan D. Krizack, University Archivist and Head, Special Collections Department
- Scanning: Hanna Clutterbuck, Archives and Digitization Assistant; and Eliana Wachs Cashman, Northeastern University Co-op student
